  1. See my PCP today , I was to secure/honest and possibly flippent in my answers. THe eval was done in April. Wish I knew then what I know now. I may have unwittingly admitted to binge eating or other behavior considered an eating disorder. It may be some counseling or therapy or something easy like that for a few months . I will try to find out today. Thx

    October sleevers?????

    protein and fluids are mostly absorbed or passed in the urine. Probably not enough cumulative solids or fiber to make a poopy yet. Tell your doc if it goes on a few more days.
  3. My surgery was stopped indefinitely by the psychologist after losing 50 lbs and passing all med tests. what shold I do ? verry upsetting, they gave no explanation other than we dont think you will follow the diet.

  11. Don't worry. You won't . Your much smaller stomach and hormonal changes sort of prevents you from eating too much.
  12. OUTSTANDING ! How did you lose 100 lbs in 8 months ? How do you feel ?

    REGRET

    So many small things at - 50 Lbs +, put on socks, boots, tie laces unassisted, old expensive cloths /watches become new again, wipe your Own butt wthout cheep Amazon Tongs lol, A1c BG Bp goes down , O2 sats improve, etc ect. Yes those bouts of depression suck ! It has a lot to do with the surgery and weight loss hormonal changes . I am a big tough ex military guy and got overcome by a wave of depression and almost started to cry over nothing, couldn't finish my work out and had to go home. I try to treat them as I have with old Adderall panic ( after I quit ) attacks telling myself I'm ok it's just catecholamines. Catecholamines are hormones made by your adrenal glands, which are located on top of your kidneys . Examples include dopamine; norepinephrine; and epinephrine (this used to be called adrenalin or adrenaline). Your adrenal glands send catecholamines into your blood when you're physically or emotionally stressed. Best wishes.
  15. How are you getting protein fluids and meds , do they tell you what the new stomache capacity is , are you on pain meds, blood thinner shots ? It sounds like you are doing really well. Congrats. My pre op is next week.

      I am now 8 days post-op. I had my surgery on Thursday and came back to work Tuesday. I had no problems with nausea. The first couple of days took some work to drink my protein drinks. I'm doing several varieties of clear protein in different flavors. I just couldn't swallow much at once. Now I am doing much better. I average about 70 grams of protein and 90 ounces of fluids. I am constantly thirsty. I don't take any pain meds but I still have some Tylenol 3 with codeine. It does the trick. I do take the blood thinner shots. I have four more days of those. You don't even feel it the needle is so small. You will do great also. Just walk as much as possible as soon after your surgery as you can. Let me know if you have other questions.

    Can the surgeon repair an epigastric hernia at the same time as performing the VSG ? I'm hopping to get VSG in 2-4 weeks. Down 50 lbs but still 310.
